Stuck in Your Rut Updates

It has been a few years since I have been active on Stuck in Your Rut and I’m excited to be back. My life has taken me on a wild ride over the past few years. But, I’m going stronger than ever. Here’s a little bit of what is going on to catch you up:

The history of Stuck in Your Rut

This website has evolved a lot since it started. It originally began as a challenge for me to have to try new things. I knew that if I felt accountable to reporting back to all of you I would stick to it. It’s so easy to get stuck in the same boring stuff all the time and I was ready to get out of it. I tried new foods and pushed myself to try new activities. It was fun.

But, it didn’t feel like what I really needed to be doing. See, I’ve overcome some personal “issues” in the past (as most of us have at some point). And, I really felt like I was supposed to be doing something with all of the information that I had learned. So, I changed Stuck in Your Rut.

It became centered on helping women through trials in marriage, big or small. My marriage was a mess for a long time (you can find out more about me at the About page) and I wanted to help others avoid the same experiences that I went through. But, I became busy with other things and discouraged at myself and I let it fall away.

Where I’m at today

I am back, Stuck in Your Rut has changed, and I couldn’t be more excited about the future! Since I stopped being active on the website three years ago my life has changed a lot. I discovered that I could get paid to do what I love—writing! I started working as a freelance writer for small businesses, helping them to create website content and blog posts. Eventually, that became my full income. I discovered that I enjoy being an entrepreneur and working for myself. It lets me be home and there for my family more than ever before. Something I am now passionate about helping other people learn how to do.

I started homeschooling my three daughters this year. It was a snap (but prayed about) decision after our unexpected move to Florida resulted in us living in Kentucky. That’s a story for another day.

I have also, thanks to some of my wonderful clients, learned a LOT about everything from how to develop more confidence to improving mental health. I’ve learned the importance of goals, setting deadlines, and embracing failure instead of hiding from it. I can now see so clearly that all of my experiences and life lessons have brought me right back to Stuck in Your Rut.

I want to help you!

That’s a true statement. I feel so passionately about helping other women pursue the life of their dreams. I know that might sound a little corny, but it’s true. We were meant to have life and have it to the full (John 10:10).

Has your life fallen apart and you don’t know how to even start putting it back together?

Do you feel like you are just going through the motions of life?

Are you tired of living on an emotional roller coaster?

Do you want to start a new career, move to a new state, or put the spark back in your marriage?

I am going to share what I have learned and am learning with you. Stuck in Your Rut is going to become a place for motivation, encouragement, support, and accountability. Over the next few months, you will see changes happening periodically as this continues to grow and develop into a resource tool that will help you live a life you love!
